Rather we saved the £8m and put it towards someone who is better than the players we already have, which Caulker isn't.
If Brendan does have a fault it's that he likes to sign (or tries to sign) players he's worked with before (Allen, Borini, Moses, Williams, Signurdsson, Vorm, Kalou, Caulker etc) and apart from Allen they are all distinctly average.
They are certainly not the type of players that are going to help us bridge the gap from second to first, to do that you need players like Suarez and a younger version of Steven Gerrard, not Caulker and Kalou.

Ferdinand would offer positional sense, experience and was one of the best around in his day. He's still miles ahead of the Slovak now even at 35. Skrtels performances this season have at times been like an ever lasting nightmare. Four own goals in a season? Pretty special...

Thought it was worth it's own thread.
Stu reckons.
On Mignolet its obvious he's better than Jones.
The point is though if you have a quality keeper they usually play most if not all games, they won't suffer with burn out so I'm not a fan of clogging up the wage bill in such a manor.
Also with regards to Skrtel, he's on more money again than Toure and I don't believe there is a massive difference in ability. Skertel is again the slightly better player, but the point being for me is we'd have Agger, Sahko and another ahead of him so I do believe as long as your fourth choice players are "capable" then we have enough cover.
To be honest, I'd be more than happy for Wisdom/Kelly (fitness depending) to be fourth choice.
My squad for next year would look something like this.... (first choice at top)
GK - New player
GK - Jones
RB - New player
RB - Flannagan
LB - Enrique
LB - Robinson (Flannagan/Kelly)
CB - New player
CB - Sahko
CB - Agger
CB - Wisdom
CM - New player
CM - Henderson, Allen, Gerrard
AM - Coutinho
FW - Suarez
FW - New player
FW - Sterling
FW - Sturridge
Then depending on the system Coutinho could play in a front 3 or midfield 3 Sturridge could partner Suarez etc etc.
Ideally I'd like to see Begovic, Lovren, Schneiderlin and an Arjen Robben type (or someone of that class) come in to fill the gaps. Big ask obviously but thats got to be the aim.
